I do quite a bit of charting, this is the most effective on the high volume coins. ou can use the same principals as tracking stocks with the understanding of increased volatility. I like to use trading view in order to track price fluctuations and volume
Stocks are much different from alts because we have a lot of speculations on daily basis which influence trade, and volume is much lower so can be dangerous . When volume lowers even more here comes the dump..Alts are very volatile and as such have greater risks but also gain on small scale can be significant..You can invest 1$ and get in return 1000$ which is impossible elsewhere..
